12、cated at the Tang court took the Chinese culture home with them.Soon Japan and Korea were organised on the Tang model,while Chinese influence extended throughout Southeast Asia.2.与外国人之间的贸易促成了宽容和包罗万象的文化。波斯人、阿拉伯人和犹太人来到唐朝定居，带来了他们自己的宗教信仰和风俗习惯。他们都获准生活在由自己的法律管辖的区域内，他们还可以保留自己传统的诸如音乐和舞蹈等娱乐形式，这些都对唐朝文化的发展有一定的
13、影响。但是或许影响最为深远的外来文化是起源于印度的佛教。而同时在唐朝宫廷受过教育的外国人也将唐朝的文化带回自己的国家。不久，日本和朝鲜也参照了唐朝的统治形式，唐朝的影响传遍了东南亚。助读讲解 bringing with them their own religions and customs是现在分词短语作伴随状语。governed by their own laws 是过去分词短语作定语修饰 communities。which influenced the development of Tang culture 是非限制性定语从句，which 指代前面整个主句的内容。whose origin
14、s were in India 是非限制性定语从句。who were educated at the Tang court 是定语从句，修饰先行词 foreigners。3.Cultural development went hand in hand with technological progress.New discoveries were made in astronomy(天文学),geography and medicine.In 724 Seng Yixing measured the length of the suns shadow and the altitude(高度)o

16、der audience.Printing also marked the beginning of the golden age of literatureand literature,in the Tang Dynasty,meant poetry.3.科技的进步和文化的发展齐头并进。天文学、地理学和医药学都有新的发现。公元 724 年，僧一行测算了日影长度和北极高度。唐太宗(627649)时期，官府开办了医药学校，进行专科研究。这个时期印刷术的发明意味着史无前例的知识记载和分享。印刷术不仅使科学知识的传播遍及各地，而且标志着唐朝的主要文学形式诗歌的黄金时代的到来。助读讲解 where 引

19、 good poet had a better chance of getting a good job.So lots of people became interested in poetry.4.意象优美、题材广泛的唐诗超越了它之前的所有文学形式。唐诗到底是怎样发展起来的？这个问题的答案不止一个。天才诗人的涌现和新诗歌形式的出现是两个重要因素。唐朝出现的“新体诗”中，每行五言或七言，对音韵也有严格的规定。若想入朝当官，能够写诗也是一个必备的条件。能写一手好诗就有更多的机会获得功名，因此很多人都对诗歌很有兴趣。助读讲解 that had come before it 是定语从句，修饰先行词
20、everything。which.period 是定语从句，修饰先行词“New Style Verse”。which govern the tones 是定语从句，修饰先行词 rules。who wanted to become government officials 是定语从句，修饰先行词people。5.One of the greatest of the Tang poets was Du Fu(712770)As a young man he travelled a lot and enjoyed painting and music,as well as writing poetr

22、in which he lived.These include the sufferings of the poor,and the corruption(腐败)of the rich.He also writes about his own problems,including his sons death.Du Fu is also known for his friendship with Li Bai(701762),another great poet of the age.The two men met in 744,and although very different，they
23、 became friends.They each wrote poems to the other.5.杜甫(712770)是唐朝最伟大的诗人之一。年轻时，杜甫游历过许多地方。他喜欢绘画、音乐和写诗。但在有生之年他一直没有成名，事实上他认为自己是一个失败者。直到 11 世纪他在诗歌创作上的天赋才被认可。杜甫描绘了他所生活的那个时代的现实画卷，所以，他有时被称为“(记载)历史的诗人”或“(映照)时代的镜子”。他的诗描写了劳苦大众的苦难和达官贵人的腐败。杜甫也抒写了自己的痛苦，例如爱子的夭折等。杜甫和另一位同时代的伟大诗人李白(701762)的友谊也为世人所称道。这两人(杜甫和李白)于 744
24、年相识，尽管风格迥异，两人仍然成了好朋友，并互赠诗歌。助读讲解 此句为强调句型 It was.that.。in which he lived 是定语从句，修饰先行词 the age。although very different 是although 引导的省略了 they were 的让步状语从句。6.Li Bai,the son of a wealthy merchant(商人),grew up in Sichuan Province.As he was not so successful as some of the other young men of his time in the C

26、eling.Friendship,the human condition,and the pleasures of wine,are his favourite subjects.It is said that he drowned when he fell into a river while trying to take hold of the reflection(倒影)of the Moon.6.李白是一个富商的儿子，在四川长大。因为他不像同时代的其他一些年轻人一样在科举考试中那么顺利成为一名入朝官员，他便开始了游历和诗歌创作的生涯，写了一千多首诗。他使用简单而又明快的语言，并且经常选
27、用不规则的形式。如果说杜甫是一个现实主义诗人，那么李白就是一个浪漫主义诗人。他以同样深厚的情感抒写自然和人物。友谊、人们的生活状况以及饮酒的快乐，是他最喜欢抒写的主题。据说他在试图捉月亮的影子时掉进江里溺水身亡。助读讲解 此处是 as 引导的原因状语从句。writing more than a thousand poems 是现在分词短语作伴随状语。It is said that.据说，it 为形式主语，that 从句为真正的主语；while trying to.是省略了 he was 的省略句。第一步 速读了解文章主题和段落大意速读 P7273 教材课文，匹配段落大意1Part 1(Para
